I’m a Director of Photography specializing in documentary and unscripted television. I’ve lived and worked in Los Angeles for the last 12 years.

With a career that began as a camera assistant on a range of unscripted and documentary television shows, I’ve built a reputation for strong visual storytelling, technical excellence, and collaborative leadership on set. I bring authenticity and emotion to real-life stories, often with limited resources and under real-world constraints.

Over the years, I’ve contributed to numerous productions across major networks including Netflix, Bravo, and Oxygen, developing a deep understanding of the unique visual and narrative demands of documentary television. From intimate interviews to dynamic vérité sequences, I bring a confident and consistent visual style that enhances story and tone, while staying adaptable to the realities of field production.

Having come up through the ranks, I understand the importance of teamwork at every level. I approach each project with professionalism, a calm demeanor, and a genuine respect for every crew member’s role. I’m known for being solution-oriented and ego-free—focused always on delivering compelling visuals that support the director’s vision and elevate the story.

During my time at GatorVision, the University of Florida’s athletics video production team, I honed my skills in both live sports broadcasting and creative storytelling. I contributed to live broadcasts, operated cameras for game-day coverage, and edited a wide range of content including highlights, player features, and social media pieces. In addition, my ongoing freelance video editing work has allowed me to collaborate with a diverse range of clients and formats—from branded content to short-form documentaries—sharpening my post-production instincts, narrative pacing, and ability to work independently under tight deadlines.

Whether leading a multi-camera team or operating solo in the field, I bring a high level of technical proficiency and creative intent to each shoot. My background in reality television and documentary formats has honed my instinct for capturing authentic moments while ensuring visual cohesion throughout a series.

I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to your upcoming productions and collaborate with your creative team. I’d be happy to provide a reel, resume, and references upon request, and I look forward to the possibility of connecting further.
